Experiences
From The Art of Living Volunteer Training Program held in May 2017 at the Art of Living Centre for Peace in Cape Town, Milnerton.
"The Volunteer Training course took me to a new level of achievement. It gently guided me through processes i normally shy away from like Public speaking. I learnt new marketing strategies. My daily Sadhana was nicely fine tuned as well.and I finished the course with a huge sense of accomplishment proudly walking away with a BWS manual. The course is the much needed springboard for the utimate Art of Living teacher training course. Thank you Anand" - Camilla
"The volunteer training with Anand was fantastic. Anand explained the knowledge and different aspects of being a volunteer in a beautifully practical way. Anand is an inspiring and a gracious example of how one can achieve balance in both spiritual and worldly aspects of life. I felt very light and energized during this course. Particularly during the week in between. The course teaches you how to harness the positive energy we have within us, to use it to become a more effective volunteer and better the lives of everyone around us. The processes were fun too. On this course you will get to know more about Art of Living, expand your potential and learn practical skills that apply to all aspects of life .
Thank you Anand for spending this time with us." - Lauren
"Volunteer training with Anand was great. The processes and knowledge we went through really sharpened my communication and leadership skills. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who is looking to broaden their capacities, sharpen their intellect as well as their ability to affect change in their communities. As a student who is involved in leadership at my university I now feel that I have the tools to be a better and more dynamic leader. Thank you Anand !" - Julian
"This course is amazing in preparing you to be an Art of Living teacher or if you don't want to be a teacher it teaches you how you can assist in expanding art of living as a volunteer through other teams. the course makes you step outside your comfort zone and as a result there is a tremendous growth that happens as a person. It also gives you the chance to ask ANY questions about the art of living that you have been wondering about from the beginning. Anand is also there to provide emotional as well as practical support to any challenge you may be facing in your life. I would recommend this course to anyone who feels that they want to spread art of living to more people and make the world a happier and better place. 😊" - Paula
"VTP was such a soothing experience which has changed and lifted the Prana positively in me. The free flow of knowledge from Anand with the divine grace of Gurudev has enlightened me big time. I have realized the power of sadhana and applying the knowledge. In the words of Anand "If you are totally in knowledge organizing just happens ". And I have seen it happened to me. I went to Cape Town for this VTP all the way from Lusaka. I knew nobody in Cape Town but to my surprise everything was organized for me so smoothly. The living knowledge of Anand has made everything like a home to me in Cape Town. Thanks to all the volunteers of Cape Town especially JP Guyeu and Tammy Abrahams, Sabine Metz-Hammer and Klaus as well as Ashwin who have become my guides and extended family in Capetown. Thank you so much Anand , you are a teacher who has inspired me to take forward the "Mission Happiness". I am committed to live the knowledge. I would recommend this course to all those who fulfill the criteria irrespective, whether you want to become a teacher or not . But for sure it will make you a better AOL representative. This course will sharpen your intellect level and will enhance your ability to bring or facilitate the positive change in the society." - Sanjeev from Lusaka, Zambia
